Car alarms/car security

[TheNewt10]

My car has no kind of security rather than your ordinary for locks. Is there any type of security I can do that won't blow a huge hole in my wallet?

Are you trying to prevent your car from being stolen or the things inside it from being stolen?

Prevent my car from being stolen

if you can't get an alarm a few kill switches should help a little with theft

[sonikaccord]

The cheapest would probably be to install a kill switch to cut the ignition or starter or fuel. The fuel and ignition would be the strongest deterrents and a combination of all three would be the best.

Alarms are fairly reasonable these days. Even the ones with all the bells and whistles are pretty good price. Get one with starter kill and like already said, place a kill switch on the fuel and your shit should be alright. You could also get a removable steering wheel and a pedal lock if its that serious.

I use a steering wheel bar in my cb7. These cars get stollen alot for parts and this is an affordable way to keepit safe. I would use a brand like "The Club".

You wire up the switch between the power source or ground, and the item your trying to "kill", which is usually a relay of some sort. Then hide the switch in a place where if you were a thief you wouldn't look. I've seen people use the cruise control switch, and even the cigarette lighter as a killswitch before.

can also work for fuel pump wire of you use a toggle switch:

take some pictures if you do end up making the switches, just not where you hid it lol...it seems pretty straight foreward and i've wanted to do this for a while but im always iffy unless its really really simple and pictures kinda thing

I'll post up pictures some time towards the end of the month. I'm low on cash right now I had to replace my main relay

If you have soldering skills or know someone with soldering skills, you can repair your old main relay; you just desolder, and resolder every contact, and it will be like new, its what I did to mine. Then return the relay you bought, and get your money back.

The club is worthless. A lot of thieves actually look for cars with the club because they are so easy to bypass. All you have to do is hacksaw thru the steering wheel and slide it out. Then bye bye.
